An easy, healthier substitute for Ice Cream… Blueberry Cheesecake flavour! The hype is real with this cottage cheese hack. 6 ingredients, creamy, low calorie and PACKED with protein.👇🏼 - Cream Mix: • 2 cups (16oz) cottage cheese (I use 2-4% fat) • 3 tbsp light cream cheese • 1/4 cup low calorie maple syrup OR any sweetener • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use myprotein whey) • Optional: 1/4 tsp salt - Blueberry Mix: • 1 cup frozen blueberries • 1 tsp honey OR any sweetener - Directions: • Add all “cream mix” ingredients to blender and blend until smooth • Add “blueberry mix” to medium heat pot/pan and cook into jam • Add half of cream mix to jar/container, followed by half blueberry mix. Repeat twice for two layers. • using a fork/knife, swirl the blueberry mix to create an even flavour. • Freeze for 3 hours and serve. - Notes: • The higher fat content of cottage cheese you have, the less your mix will freeze solid after placing it in the freezer for longer than 3 hours. Even if it does, you just need to leave it out to thaw for a few minutes and mix it around before serving. • You can use greek yogurt as a substitute for cottage cheese, but I recommend keeping it for the cheesecake flavour. • You can experiment with all different kinds of frozen fruits. I also love using raspberries. • Add your toppings of choice for an extra crunch! - Serving Size: 3 - Calories/Macros (Per Serving): Approx. 225 Calories • 29g Protein • 16g Carbs • 4g Fat - Numbers may slightly vary depending on the ingredients and brands you use. - - - #Recipe #dessert #icecream #blueberry #homecooking #healthy #healthysnacks #healthydessert #cheesecake #snack #lowcalorie #protein #eatclean

Healthier, higher protein and low calorie substitute for ice cream bars. My own version of this incredible summer snack using only 5 ingredients.👇🏼 - Ingredients: • 2 cups frozen dark cherries (or frozen fruit of choice) • 1 cup fat free greek yogurt, plain • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used myprotein) • 1/2 heaping cup dark chocolate chips (I used lily’s) • 2 tsp coconut oil OR butter (to melt chocolate) - Directions: • chop frozen fruit into smaller pieces. • mix fruit with yogurt and protein powder. • using a spoon, scoop approx. 6-8 clusters onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (this will prevent it from sticking). Freeze 30 mins until solid. • melt dark chocolate with oil/butter by either: adding it to a bowl and placing it on top of a steaming pot of hot water, stirring until melted. OR microwave in 30 second intervals and mixing until melted. Add 1-2 tbsp of milk if you need to increase volume of chocolate. • remove clusters and dip them into chocolate as fast as you can. This is key, otherwise the chocolate will quickly become solid again. You can also drizzle the chocolate over your clusters instead. • eat right away or place into freezer for 10-20 more minutes for clusters to harden. - NOTES: • You can substitute the protein powder for a flavoured greek yogurt or plain greek yogurt and sweetener… but I prefer the extra kick of protein! • There are lots of variations with fruit, yogurt, and protein flavours. Feel free to experiment! • When storing clusters and eating for another day, you will need to let them thaw for a few minutes before biting into it so they can become a little soft again! - Yields: 8 clusters - Calories/Macros (per cluster): Approx. 92 Calories 11.5g Carbs 6.5g Protien 3.5g Fat - - - #Recipe #dessert #homecooking #healthy #healthysnacks #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #icecream #chocolate #yogurt #snack #lowcalorie #protein #eatclean
